Digital Yacht LANLink NMEA 2000 To Ethernet Gateway [ZDIGLANLN2K]

In the modern boating world, many vessels are equipped with wireless routers or use services like Digital Yacht 4G Connect for internet access. The LANLink is an outstanding NMEA to ethernet gateway. It seamlessly integrates your boat's NMEA data into the router network, enabling connected devices and apps to make full use of this valuable data. Available in versions for NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000, the LANLink features an intuitive web interface. This allows any device with a browser to easily configure NMEA baud rates and IP/Port details. It supports multiple TCP/IP connections and is bi - directional. Simply connect it to the onboard network with a basic CAT 5/6 patch cable. Then, you can set up apps such as TZ iBoat, iNavX, NavLink, iSailor, Imray, Weather 4D, etc., by just entering the IP address and port to stream NMEA data. The NMEA 2000 version comes with an iKonvertNMEA Certified gateway for easy connection to the NMEA 2000 backbone. Key features include low - power 12/24v DC operation, easy RJ45 Cat 5/6 patch cable connection to routers or devices, a web - based user interface for simple setup via a browser, support for TCP/IP or UDP connection modes (up to 5 connected devices in TCP/IP), and more. The setup is a breeze with a menu - driven web UI, no complex software needed. You can configure NMEA data, set the mode and port, and choose a fixed or dynamic IP address. The status page helps with system diagnostics. Specifications include a power range of 10 - 35V DC, an Ethernet RJ45 10/100MB network port, and an operating temperature range of - 25 to +70 degrees C.

Using the LANLink is quite straightforward. First, connect it to your boat's onboard network using a CAT 5/6 patch cable. Then, access the menu - driven web UI through a browser on a client device. You don't need to install any complicated software. On the web UI, configure the NMEA data for 4800 or 38400 baud, set the mode (TCP/IP or UDP), and choose a port. You can also decide whether to use a fixed or dynamic IP address. After that, you can start using apps like TZ iBoat or iNavX by entering the IP address and port. When it comes to the NMEA 2000 version, thanks to the iKonvertNMEA Certified gateway, connecting to the NMEA 2000 backbone is easy. Just make sure you set it up according to your installation needs. For maintenance, keep the device in a dry and cool place as it has an operating temperature range of - 25 to +70 degrees C. Check the LED indicators regularly. They show power, status, link, and data in - out. If you see any abnormal indicator behavior, there might be an issue with the device. Also, since it operates on 10 - 35V DC, always ensure the power supply is within this range to avoid damage.
